  • Thanks Speed SF for organizing a track night at Thunderhill! A first on my watch, and possibly the first in NorCal.
    As some of you might know, it gets REALLY hot at Willows, California where Thunderhill Raceway is located. It was ~100ºF in the afternoon, and even ah hours after sunset the ambient temperature was ~86ºF (30ºC).
    Some sections of the track became faster after sunset, but some corners became very hard to see, and I was taking them conservatively - most notably T8 which is no joke even when you can see it.
    Here's a clip from the last session to give you a taste of what it was like. Definitely a great new conditions to experience, and to get a bit of a taste of what 24h endurance races like 24h of Le Mans feel like.
    Hope there will be more events like this in the future!
